Al Gore & the Nuclear Peril
or
The Upcoming Fight in the Senate

Completely contrary to what you are permitted to know from the newspapers,
TV, and radio, there is a British-driven parliamentary coup d’Etat going
on in the United States.
Were President Clinton to be removed from office, and Al Gore become President,
nuclear war is not only possible, it is likely.

This week’s LaRouche Connection features
the presentation of LaRouche’s U.S.
spokesman, Dr. Debra Freeman at an emergency town meeting in Baltimore, Jan. 5, 1999—one of dozens
of such meetings being held throughout the country, to inform the public about
the gravest danger faced by our nation since its founding, and to mobilize
popular support for the Presidency.

The Eurasian Landbridge:Washington Must Ally with China, Not London!

Hosted by Dennis Small, Ibero-American Editor for EIR magazine, this
week’s LaRoucheConnection public access cable TV program
features the decade-long organizing of Lyndon and Helga LaRouche for the
Eurasian Landbridge, sometimes known as the New Silk Road, as the way for the
world to build its way out of the present global economic crisis.

The program documents how China, Russia, India, and many other nations are
working together to build this largest construction project ever attempted by
mankind, which will span the continents of Asia and Europe, with links through
the Middle East into Africa, and across the Bearing Straits into the Americas.

The extraordinary worldwide response to the LaRouche proposal, is typified
by the remarks of Jose Lopez Portillo, to a Mexico City audience on December 1, 1998,
which featured Helga LaRouche as the keynote speaker. The former President of
Mexico said, ``Now is the time for the world to listen to the wise words of
Lyndon LaRouche.”

Included in the program, is an excerpt from a May 10, 1997 meeting in Washington, DC,
in which Lyndon LaRouche explains the theory and practice of his Landbridge
proposal.

EIR Talks: January 20, 1999

The impeachment trial playing out before the U.S. Senate against President
Clinton, has been from the outset a foreign intelligence-directed assault on
the U.S. Presidency, which has no basis in law whatsoever. To the extent that
any kind of "high crimes and misdemeanors" were committed by anyone,
those crimes were committed by the people who have been working around the
clock since the day Bill Clinton was sworn into office, to destroy his
Presidency.

In this week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection public access
cable TV program, taped January 20, Jeffrey Steinberg, Counterintelligence
Editor for EIR magazine, presents the accumulated hard evidence, that it
is Vice-President Al Gore, not President Clinton, who is guilty of the precise
impeachable offences that the Framers of our Constitution considered in Article
2, Section 4: treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors, and who
should be removed from office.

It is Al Gore who has been working, exceeding his authority as
Vice-President, behind the back of the President, in the interests of certain
private Wall Street and other international financiers, to bail them out at the
direct expense to U.S.
foreign policy, particularly relations between the U.S.
and Russia.
These financiers are in turn major contributors to Gore.

While the President and Treasury Secretary Rubin have identified the hedge
funds, and the commercial banks that are indiscriminately pouring money into
these hedge funds for highly leveraged bets, as a national security threat, Al
Gore has been acting as an instrument of that national security threat – an
impeachable offence.

Other subjects touched on in the program, are: the most recent eruption of
the global financial crisis, this time in Brasil; the possibility of regional
nuclear exchanges in the Balkans, Middle East,
and Korean peninsula, igniting global nuclear war.

EIR Talks: January 27, 1999

While almost everyone is absorbed with the horror show known as the
impeachment trial of the President, the global financial crisis is wiping out
entire nations. In the first part of this week’s edition of The
LaRouche Connection, taped January 27, guest host Nancy Spannaus discusses
with Dennis Small, the Ibero-American Editor for EIR magazine, that
financial crisis, which is the motivating force for the world oligarchy’s
attempt to destabilize the United States Government, and prevent a solution
from coming to the fore. Spannaus and Small discus the international fight over
financial policy--with the ideas of Lyndon LaRouche in the center--especially
focusing on the strategic moves being taken by Brasil,
Russia, and Malaysia to
save their nations. A short video clip from the Jan. 20 testimony of Federal
Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, to a hearing of House Committee on Ways &
Means on the Outlook of the U.S. Economy, is included in this segment.

In the second part of the program, Mrs. Spannaus is joined by her husband
Edward Spannaus, Law Editor for EIR, to discuss the political lynching
of the President, and the implications of that for the world strategic
situation. Included in this segment is a short video clip from the Jan. 22
edition of C-SPAN's Washington Journal, in which Emmett Tyrell, Editor-in-Chief
of American Spectator magazine, which has been leading the attack
against President Clinton, endorses Al Gore for President.

In the final segment, Edward Spannaus interviews special guest John Hurley,
President of the Confederate Memorial Association, for a unique insight into
the role of a new Confederate insurgency in carrying out the lynching of our
President. Included in this segment are some video clips from the Jan. 23
wreath-laying ceremony at Statuary Hall in the Capitol, to commemorate the
birth of Robert E. Lee.

EIR Talks: February 3, 1999

At the just concluded annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland,
German President Herzog proclaimed the end of the nation-state, in his Brave
New World of“globalization.” A discussion paper circulated by WEF
director, David Morrison, concluded that there is nothing that national
economies can do to protect themselves from the growing
“turbulence” in the markets, as a result of globalization, and that
proposals for “reshaping the foreign exchange markets, following the
example of the Bretton Woods System of fixed exchange rates, or a tax on
short-term capital transfers,” is “impracticable.”

In this week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection public access
cable TV program, taped Feb. 3, guest host Jeffrey Steinberg discusses with Nancy
Spannaus, Editor-in-Chief of The New Federalist newspaper, and
Marcia Merry Baker, Economics and Agriculture Editor for EIR magazine, this
direct attempt to counter the proposals of Lyndon LaRouche for a New Bretton
Woods monetary system, capital and exchange controls, and a tax on the
derivatives markets--measures needed to avert a global economic breakdown.

Other topics covered: LaRouche’s call for imposition of currency and
capital controls in Brasil; new evidence to impeach Vice-President Al Gore;
conflicting signals from the Clinton Administration regarding shipments of
agricultural products to Russia; a Special Forces ground invasion of Iraq in
the works; and Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr’s public threat to
indict the President on criminal charges before he leaves office,
`”leaked” in the Jan. 31 The New York Times.

What it Takes to be a World Historical Leader Today

Before more than 700 representatives of the LaRouche political movement on
Feb. 14, Helga Zepp LaRouche, President of the Schiller Institute, addressed
the strategic situation facing Americans following the impeachment defeat,
taking up the questions of Justice and Leadership from the works of the Greek
philosopher Plato.

Particularly exciting was her presentation of the work of the German Jew
Moses Mendelssohn, who advanced the Platonic ideas in education and culture,
showing him to be an outstanding example of a world-historical individual,
providing a model for what not only every member of a suppressed minority group
can do, but other individuals concerned with advancing civilization as a whole.

Mrs. LaRouche challenged the group to organize 100 town meetings, by Easter,
to demand President Clinton take up here husband Lyndon LaRouche’s
solution to the global financial and strategic crisis, and dump Vice-President
Al Gore.

The LaRouche Connection public access cable television program has made

EIR Talks: February 24, 1999

No sooner did the impeachment trial of President Clinton end in acquittal,
than the London-backed forces committed to destroying both his Presidency and
the Nation, lashed out again with renewed fury. In the pasts 12 months, while Clinton has been
virtually paralyzed by the assault against him, Vice-President Al Gore and his
so-called “Principles Committee” have seized control over
policymaking.

In this week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection public access
cable TV program, taped Feb. 24, host Tony Papert and EIR
Counterintelligence Director Jeffrey Steinberg expose the treasonous role of
Vice President Gore and his Principals Committee, in heading the country down
what may be a short path to nuclear war, as British-inspired instabilities
threaten to spread out of control in the Middle East, Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Included in this segment is a short excerpt from Health and Human Services
Secretary, Donna Shalala’s remarks on bio-terrorism, from a recent
conference sponsored by the Potomac Institute and JohnsHopkinsUniversity.

Papert and Steinberg then present the alternative, in the form of a campaign
statement, entitled “The Road to Recovery,” issued by Lyndon
LaRouche, candidate for the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination in
2000.

Included in this segment are remarks by Lyndon LaRouche made Feb. 13 in
answer to a question posed during a conference sponsored by the Schiller
Institute, in which LaRouche defines the concept of the
“nation-state,” the responsibility of the state to the individual,
and the responsibility of the individual to participate in the well-being of
the nation and its posterity.

The Al Gore Danger

Beginning January-February 1998, as President Clinton became increasingly
tied up defending himself against impeachment, Vice-President Al Gore assumed
more and more control over policy. So much so, that former Clinton campaign advisor, Richard Morris,
writing in the Capitol Hill newspaper, says Mr. More is functioning
today as an acting President.

Many people have the dangerous illusion that Mr. Gore has locked in the
Democratic Party’s presidential nomination for the year 2000. Yet, it is
also widely felt, that Al Gore is unelectable. What’s the story?

In a special edition of The LaRouche Connection public access cable
TV show, taped March 3, 1999, host Tony Papert, and guest Jeffrey Steinberg,
counterintelligence editor for EIR magazine, profile the Vice-President:
Is Gore electable? Who’s behind Gore, and what do they want? What is the
Gore philosophy? What’s Gore up to now?

Featured in the program are extensive excerpts from a February 13
presentation on the Vice-President by Mr. Steinberg to a conference of the

No. 397Cambodia:
Peace Through Reconstruction

For the first time in 30 years, the Cambodian government is in control of
the national territory. The Khmer Rouge political and military organization has
come to an end.

On January 18, Gail Billington, who covers southeast Asia for EIR
magazine, traveled to Phnom Penh to interview
the Prime Minister, Samdech Hun Sen, who discusses the problems of
reconciliation and reconstruction, the ways in which the United States
could help in this process, and his vision for the future.

The big question now in Cambodia
is that of some sort of war crimes tribunal for the Khmer Rouge. The Prime
Minister strongly believes such a tribunal cannot just deal with the four years
of the Khmer Rouge, but has to be situated in the historical context of the
five years preceding, with the U.S.
bombings, and the 12 years after, during which the U.N. Security Council seated
the Khmer Rouge as the legitimate government.

The program also features excerpts from an early February interview withCambodia’s
Ambassador to Washington, His Excellency Var Huoth, who addresses the
tribunal issue, and gives his thoughts about Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Included also is an answer to a question posed to Lyndon LaRouche by
Mrs. Billington in mid-February at a conference of the Schiller Institute, for
his thoughts on a war crimes tribunal for Cambodia. Mr. LaRouche suggested the
production of a national White Paper on the entire period, which addresses the
overall case, thereby situating the trial responsibility and culpability of
individuals and parties for what happened to the country.

The program closes with a reading from Abraham Lincoln’s Second
Inaugural Address.

EIR Talks: March 17, 1999

In this week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection public access
cable TV program, taped March 17, host Tony Papert and guest Jeffrey
Steinberg, Counterintelligence Director for EIR magazine, introduce
three new compelling subjects for viewers to consider and act upon:

A group of nations, led by
China, Russia, and India, termed by Lyndon LaRouche "The Survivors
Club," who have put the interests of their people ahead of the
demands of the IMF, Wall Street, and London bankers. These countries are
not America’s
enemies. They are, as President Clinton has said, America’s natural strategic partners,
especially once the U.S.
wakes up and becomes sane in its economic policy.

The immediate and growing
danger of war, possibly featuring nuclear weapons. A new NATO doctrine is
supposed to be finalized in April, which will fundamentally transform NATO
into a body shaped for global interventions, to ultimately fight a war
with the Survivors Club.

The spy hysteria, which
LaRouche has called a "new McCarthyism." Under the pretext of a
supposed espionage danger from China,
certain people are targeting Clinton
loyalists for elimination from the Administration.

In all these areas, we are dealing with the results of the failure to
contain the financial crisis in the fall of last year.

Included in the program are three short video clips:

A special briefing March 5 by
Dennis Halliday, former head of the United Nations Oil-for-Food
program in Iraq, at the Center for Policy Analysis on Palestine. Halliday
quit in protest over the sanctions policy.

Archival footage from a 1953
exchange at the Army Hearings between Sen. Joseph McCarthy and Army
Secretary Joe Walsh. This marks the end of McCarthy’s career.

An exchange March 5 between Bill
Jones, EIR's White House correspondent, and Mr. Yu Shuning,
Press Spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, at a press
conference held in response to the U.S. State Department’s recent

Why President Clinton Must Ally the U.S.A.
With the "Survivors Club"

That U.S. and NATO
aircraft began bombing Yugoslavia,
at approximately the same time as an EIR seminar entitled "Why President
Clinton Must Ally the U.S.A.
with the "Survivors Club," convened in Washington, D.C.
on March 24, brought out the urgency of breaking the President out of the grip
of the British-run Principals Committee.

In his presentation to the seminar, Jonathan Tennenbaum, Lyndon
LaRouche’s science adviser, who has traveled extensively in China,
Russia, and eastern Europe, pointed to a crucial issue at the center of the
crisis: U.S. policy toward China, and toward the growing cooperation now
emerging among Russia, China, India, and other nations, who are forming what
LaRouche has called the "survivors Club," in order to insure the
survival and development of their populations, in the face of a process which
is otherwise leading to World War III.

The LaRouche Connection public access cable television program is
making Mr. Tennenbaum's presentation available, edited to one hour.

Also included in the program is a short excerpt from a March 15 press
conference in Beijing, in which Chinese Prime
Minister Gen. Zhu Rongji uses the power of truth, history, humility, and
especially wit, to puncture the hysteria and lies which are being used to force
a confrontation between the U.S.

The Plane That Turned Around

On Tuesday, March 23, Russian Prime Minister Primakov was on his way to Washington for what was to be his first summit meeting
with President Clinton, in an attempt to avoid war in Yugoslavia.
When only two hours out from Washington,
Primakov got a call from Vice President Gore, turned his plane around, and
returned to Moscow.
NATO began bombing Serbia
the very next day.

What happened? Why won't Al Gore let the President meet with Primakov? Are
the world’s governments sleepwalking into World War III, just as they did
into World War I? What does the new NATO doctrine have to do with this?

In this week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection, taped March

Things to Come

Today, wars rage on virtually every continent. But these are not wars in the
sense that governments are mobilizing the citizenry with a clear moral purpose,
for which there is no other resort, for a winnable objective. They are wars
which go on indefinitely, involve both ultra-modern weaponry, as well as a rock
to the skull, or a stick to the back of the head. And not just modern armies
are fighting, but neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother. If these
wars were to unite into a single conflagration, it would be the kind of World
War not seen since the 17th Century--a war of all against all, with
no end.

Is there a plan behind all these wars and warfare? In this week’s
edition of The LaRoucheConnection public access cable TV
program, taped April 7, host Tony Papert and guest Nancy Spannaus,
Editor-in-Chief of The New Federalist newspaper, expose the role of
certain publicists for the British imperialists at the end of the 19th
and beginning of the 20th Century, who put forward a plan for reorganizing
the world to permit permanent political control by the oligarchy, through mind
control, drugs, and culture.

The program focuses especially on H.G. Wells. Clips from the 1936 movie,
Things to Come, based on the 1933 book by Wells, entitled The Shape of
Things to Come, are used to illustrate the point: the only way to
understand the current war process, is to understand that it is being
orchestrated, not with finger-tip control, but in broad control of the
strategic thinking of policy-makers and of the thinking of most ordinary
citizens, by a British-American-Commonwealth faction--the inheritors of H.G.
Wells’ (and Bertrand Russell’s) warped ideas.

Other topics covered in the program are:

The current evil doings of
Zbigniew Brzezinski, teacher of Sec. of State Madeleine Albright.

The ongoing genocide in Iraq

The summit between Zhu
Rongji, the Prime Minister of China, and President Bill Clinton

Lyndon LaRouche’s
proposal for a New Bretton Woods, which would require convening a
conference of sovereign nations, to reorganize the monetary system,
eliminate free trade in currencies, and establish long-term credit
issuance between nations, based on a development perspective, particularly
around developing the heartland of the planet--a Eurasian Land-Bridge--totally
in the interest of the U.S., as well as every other major and minor nation
of the world.

Bankers’ Arithmetic vs. Human Arithmetic:
Do You Know How to Count?

Today, we face a kind of tectonic change in the world financial system.
Nothing works the way it used to. We are witnessing phenomena that have most
people totally disoriented. We are facing the kind of power that can level a
building, a city, a civilization, in a matter of moments. The economic earthquake
that we are now living through, can just as easily unleash mass hysteria in
populations, as it can provide the opportunity for a solution

The issue is, how do you measure actual economic success? What is your
metric? What are your units? What do you measure, to know if you are succeeding
economically or not? How do you know that there can in fact be a common
interest between labor and farmers, or between workers in the third World and
consumers in the United
States?

In his February 14, 1999 presentation to the Presidents’ Day conference of
the Schiller Institute, EIR magazine’s Ibero-American Editor, Dennis
Small, addressed the science of defining the Common Good and the General
Welfare--from two metrics: ``bankers arithmetic,"-- which is one way of
counting, and ``human arithmetic." Which way do you count?

The LaRouche Doctrine

Today, the world seems set on a fast
track toward World War III. Such a war doesn’t just mean thermonuclear
exchange between the U.S.
and Russia,
although that will probably happen. Most countries will become involved.
Weapons will range from nuclear to knives, from bombs to axes and rocks. It
will not just be country against country, but ethnic group against group,
village against village, family against family, and brother against brother. It
will be a war only comparable to the 1618-48 Thirty Years War in Central Europe. A war of this sort will snuff out
civilization and plunge the planet into the darkness of barbarism.

How to stop this madness?

Since 1945, each time our nation chose a new policy disaster, Lyndon LaRouche
pointed this out and showed an alternative. Each time, those alternatives have
been rejected by an establishment which thought it knew better. But they were
wrong.

In this week’s special edition of The LaRouche Connection
public access cable TV program, taped April 21,1999 host Tony Papert and
guests Nancy Spannaus, Editor-in-Chief of The New Federalist
newspaper, and Jeffrey Steinberg, Counterintelligence Director for EIR

(EIR) seminar in Washington,

Economics writer, Richard Freeman. Mr. Freeman uses a series of graphs
and charts to show that behind the current so-called U.S. prosperity, and wild joyride
of the Dow Jones and other financial indices, is the grim reality of a nation
in decline for more than 30 years.

In his presentation, Mr. Freeman focuses on three main points:

To take apart the dangerous
myth that the U.S.
is in its 9th year of recovery.

To show that the violation
of economic human rights in the U.S. has risen to such an extent, that
more citizens will die of the worsening economic sicknesses, than from
heart disease and cancer.

To locate this physical
economic breakdown within a worldwide economic disintegration.

The LaRouche Plan for Balkan Reconstruction

While President Clinton has thus far resisted pressure from Her

Institute, in which she discusses the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, which ended
thirty years of religious warfare in Europe, as a precedent for new
institutions, new international law, and a new order for peace and development.

Mr. Steinberg then discusses the new possibilities for peace in the Middle
east, as a result of the election of Ehud Barak as Israel’s new Prime Minister.

the sovereignty of all nations."

The LaRouche Connection has made available this important press
conference for a wider audience.

Introducing the footage of the press conference, is host Tony Papert,
joined in the studio on June 9 by EIR counterintelligence editor Jeffrey
Steinberg.

Papert and Steinberg also briefly preview a major policy paper by Lyndon
LaRouche, entitled "Balkan Peace and World Economy: the Case for a ‘New
Marshall Plan’," in which LaRouche says that the question of whether or
not the world goes into a deep and prolonged recession, will likely be decided
by the approach that’s taken to reconstruct the Balkans and Southeastern
Europe.

Off With Their Heads: The British Monarchy
Plays the Terrorism Card

As the world heads toward Fall 1999, a new ratchet of financial crisis is
approaching. As in Fall 1998, it involves the danger of a Russian default and
the collapse of hedge funds, possibly bringing down the whole system. This
time, one target is the Wall Street stock market.

The British forced a war in Yugoslavia
in March, to try to contain the financial crisis through war. But President
Clinton and the Russian government managed to end the shooting in a way which
the British didn't expect. Now, there’s a worldwide fight on Balkan
reconstruction. Real reconstruction in the Balkans would pave the way for a
new, sound monetary system that would end the special power enjoyed by the
British monarchy and the City of London.

In this edition of The LaRouche Connection, The taped June 16, host Tony
Papert is joined by EIR counterintelligence director Jeffrey
Steinberg, who discusses the new terror wave; and EIR economic writer
John Hoefle, who discusses the financial scrape-with-death last Fall,
and what’s happening now.

For Southeastern Europe, will there be a serious
reconstruction plan to usher in an era of peace through development? Or will
poverty and desperation sow the seeds for unending violence, regional wars and
even nuclear war with an equally impoverished and enraged Russia?

On June 23, EIR magazine sponsored a press conference in Washington, entitled
"Balkan Reconstruction: the LaRouche Alternative to Global
Catastrophe."

This week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection features the
presentations of EIR’s Southeastern European affairs specialist, Paulo
Raimondi; Panamanian Congressman Miguel Bush; Pennsylvania State
Rep. Harold James; and Michigan State Rep. Ed Vaughn. A powerful
statement by Faris Nanic, Secretary-General of Bosnia’s Democratic Action
Party in Croatia,
and former Chief of Staff for President Izetbegovic of Bosnia-Hercegovina, was
read by Debra Freeman, national spokesman for Lyndon LaRouche’s
Presidential campaign committee.

Balkan Reconstruction and How to Finance It

With the United Nations Security Council resolution ending NATO's bombing in
the Balkans, there is only one issue on the agenda: will there be a serious
reconstruction plan to usher in an era of peace through development, or will
the pre-war status quo of poverty and desperation return, leading to more death
and destruction?

On June 23 EIR magazine sponsored a policy seminar in Washington, DC,
which presented the LaRouche program for Balkan reconstruction and how to
finance it, in contrast to the phony designed-to-fail programs being put
forward by the IMF, World Bank, and European Union.

This week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection features
excerpts from the presentations of Dr. Debra Freeman, national spokesman
for Lyndon LaRouche’s presidential campaign committee; and (by phone from
his home in Bosnia) Faris Nanic, Secretary-General of Bosnia’s
Party of Democratic Action in Croatia and former Chief of President Alija
Izetbegovic of Bosnia-Hercegovina.

EIR Talks: July 14, 1999

This week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection opens with a
video excerpt from testimony given Oct. 1, 1998 by Federal Reserve Board
Chairman, Alan Greenspan, before the House Banking and Finance
Committee, explaining, in his own peculiar way, that had the Fed not bailed out
a speculative hedge fund called Long term Capital Management on Sept. 23, 1998,
to the tune of $3.8 billion, the entire world financial system would have
collapsed.

Joining Host Tony Papert in the studio on July 14, are Richard
Freeman, economics writer for EIR magazine, and Jeffrey Steinberg,
EIR’s director of counterintelligence.

Mr. Freeman reveals for the first time on TV, that from June 11-30, 1999, an
even bigger bailout--this time $25 billion--took place, this of Julian
Robertson’s Tiger Management fund, based in Curacao,
NetherlandsAntilles, where George Siros’s Quantum Fund is also
based.

Mr. Steinberg then discusses the significance of the recent vast military
exercises conducted by Russia,
the largest since the Soviet period; and the election of Israel’s new Prime Minister, Ehud Barak,
as a moment of great opportunity for peace in the Middle
East.

Reached by phone in Bogota, Maximiliano
Londono, the President of the Ibero-American Solidarity Movement of
Colombia (MSIA), next reports that the virtual alliance of the U.S. State Dept.
and the FARC--which has just launched a very big offensive--has resulted in the
narco-terrorist group controlling an area the size of Switzerland.

The concluding segment of the program continues the focus on Colombia, where
the President of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Grasso, met on
June 26 with the leaders of the FARC; and the efforts by the International
Monetary Fund to get Colombia to include illegal activities, such as
prostitution and drugs, in the measurement of the size of its economy.

Included in this segment: a video excerpt from a June 29 press conference in
New York City, given by Mr. Grasso, on his
meeting with the FARC leadership in Colombia,
and his invitation to them to tour the stock exchange in New York.

Also in this segment: an excerpt from a June 29 EIR interview with Francisco

Bankers Thieve Gold as Africa Dies

On May 7, the price of gold was $289.25 per troy ounce. On the same day,
United Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown announced that the Bank
of England would sell, over the next few years, 415 of the 700 tons of gold it
held in reserve. The first 25 tons were sold on July 6. Between May 7 and July
6, the price of gold fell to $257.30 an ounce. Bank of England head Sir Eddie
George, acting on order of the British Monarchy, arranged this series of
private auctions of gold, but only to members of the London Bullion
Marketers’ Association, thus siphoning off Bank of England gold into
private hands.

In this week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection, taped July
21, host Tony Papert is joined by EIR magazine economics writer Richard
Freeman, who discusses the privatization of gold--a classic "skim and
park" theft operation--as evidence of the oligarchy’s maneuvering to
consolidate its hold on precious metals, food, and other commodities, in an
effort to retain its political power upon the now imminent crash of the
financial and monetary system.

Linda deHoyos, Africa editor for EIR, next reviews the
situation for Africa: enforced austerity as a condition of IMF-dictated
structural reforms, deteriorating terms of trade, increasing debt service--all
resulting in breakdowns of the national economies, depleting the physical
well-being of their populations, while private armies secure the
oligarchy’s grab for the vast mineral wealth of the continent.

Death Threat Against Presidential Candidate LaRouche
or
Off With His Head!

In 1978, Lyndon LaRouche commissioned a book-length report on the
international illegal narcotics trade, Dope, Inc. The book was subtitled
Britain’s
Opium War Against the U.S.
On Aug. 5, 1999, Take A Break, a British magazine catering to
women’s issues (circulation 1.4 million) ran a Page One slander on Mr.
LaRouche entitled "Shut This Man’s Mouth,” which violently
attacked the Democratic Presidential pre-candidate, for supposedly "seriously
discrediting" the "carefully nurtured reputation" of Queen
Elizabeth II.

In this week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection, taped Aug.
10, host Tony Papert, EIR magazine’s director of
counterintelligence Jeffrey Steinberg, and LaRouche national campaign
spokesman Dr. Debra Freeman discuss the charges made against LaRouche,
why the Queen of England views LaRouche as a major threat to her reputation
throughout the world, and why his campaign views this article as a death
threat.

The five charges made against LaRouche are:

LaRouche says the Queen
pushes dope.

Included here are various video clips from
LaRouche’s 1980 Presidential campaign run.

LaRouche says Princess
Diana’s death was murder, carried out by British secret intelligence
agencies.

Is World War III Coming?

To the average Joe, seated before the boob tube, nothing could seem more
remote than the prospect of World War III. For better informed Americans, and especially
Europeans, its not at all that way.

In this week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection, taped August
18, host Tony Papert is joined in the studio by Nancy Spannaus,
editor-in-chief of The New Federalist newspaper, to discuss a widely
circulated Aug. 12 memorandum by Democratic Presidential candidate Lyndon
LaRouche, entitled "Is World War III Coming?"

From the beginning of this year, Mr. LaRouche has drawn attention to the
concerns of the British oligarchy in particular, to control the world geopolitical
situation after a financial crash which they believe is inevitable, and is in
fact inevitable. Their concern has driven them to create confrontations,
against Russia, but also
against other countries in the Far East, which
are leading, maybe without their intention, to a military conflict in the
direction of thermonuclear war.

Reached by phone, EIR magazine’s Washington,
DC military affairs correspondent, Carl
Osgood relates some shocking facts concerning the hollowed-out nature of
the U.S.
military. And when you put this together with the weakness of the Russian
military, we’re looking at a looming possible war situation between
parties, neither of whom can fight a "conventional" war, and for whom
the turn to nuclear arsenals comes quickly as a last resort.

Democrat LaRouche Files for Matching Funds

On the morning of August 18, the political campaign committee for Democrat
Lyndon LaRouche filed a request with the Federal Election Commission for
federal matching funds. In order to qualify, a candidate must raise $5,000 in
contributions not larger than $250 from 20 States. The Committee for New
Bretton Woods went way over that, by filing documentation for $387,000, raised
from 3,200 contributors in 25 States. Only five other Republican and Democratic
candidates have qualified, one of whom has since withdrawn from the race for
the Presidency.

Prior to the filing, the Federal Election Commission had already recognized
Mr. LaRouche as the third major candidate on the Democratic side. So far
LaRouche’s campaign has raised a total of over one million dollars.

This week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection features an
August 18 press conference announcing the filing, at the National Press Club in

Speaking on Sept. 29 to a seminar in Washington, DC sponsored by EIR

Democratic Action (SDA) and former chief of Staff of President Alija
Izetbegovic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, called on the United States to adopt Lyndon
LaRouche’s economic development policies without delay, as the only basis
for real reconstruction of the war-ravaged Balkan nations.

Mr. Nanic is a co-initiator, together with Schiller Institute founder Helga
Zepp LaRouche, of an international call for "Peace through Development for
the Balkans," which was drafted for worldwide endorsement during NATO's
bombardment of Serbia
last spring.

The statement calls for the following measures:

a "Marshall Plan"
for the Balkan region;

an approach to reform of the
world monetary and financial system, by creating an architecture of the
"New Bretton Woods," with no delay (including fixed exchange
rates, protection of national economies, and sovereign credit generation
for economic development);

an urgent and sharp break
with the IMF and World Bank practice of imposing austerity measures and
unacceptable financial conditionalities on sovereign nations;

debt moratoria for the
economies of the region, which have been ruined by war and enforced shock
therapy;

use of the model of the Kreditanstalt
fuer Wiederaufbau during the post World War II period reconstruction of Germany;

joining the initiative for
launching the project of the Eurasian Landbridge, as a spine of Eurasian
development in cooperation with all interested nations;

inclusion of all Balkan and
Southeastern European states into the Landbridge project.

The Schiller Institute and EIRhad invited Mr. Nanic to the United States
to address this issue, because of the increasingly desperate plight of the
Balkan nations, which can only be solved by American leadership in implementing
these measures--before the winter brings even greater hardship and death.

To Deal With This Problem, You Need a Renaissance

Speaking to an audience from all over Europe, at the Civil Rights Movement
Solidarity party congress in Mainz,
Germany on
October 17, Lyndon LaRouche stated that the world is now going through a
period of fundamental change, the outcome whether it will be a better world, or
a dark age, not yet decided. Some quotations from his presentation follow:

"We’re at a point in history when, because society has chosen
trends in policy-making which doomed it to make the wrong policy decisions,
we’re living in a system which doesn’t work, because the very basis
for a successful survivable economy has been destroyed by policy."

"Deprived of a sense of alternative, perceiving assured disaster,
populations become extremely pessimistic and even self-destructive. They become
enraged, like madmen, out of their own frustration and fears."

"The problem is, they cling to the belief that certain definitions,
axioms, and postulates underlying their habitual opinions, are true. They
insist on being governed by popular opinion, rather than a search for what is
true."

"Truthfulness is to know how to be truthful, and to take personal
individual responsibility for thinking and acting in a truthful way on all
practical and related questions before you. That is the standpoint of the true
citizen."

"We’ve come to a point in history, where people know that what
they believe doesn’t work. We have today governments and parties whose
policies are destructive, but people keep on supporting them. How to get out of
the trap?"

"The solution lies in rediscovering the Classical idea of Man, as
absolutely distinguished above the animal, by being made in the image of the
Creator of the universe, and that Man, by his nature, is inherently good."

"The ability of the human mind to produce discoveries of ideas which
have the quality of universal validatable principles by which man increases
Man’s power in the universe, is the efficient definition of Truth."

"This definition of Truth, as expressed in a loving regard for all
humanity because of Man’s special nature, this respect for Truth, is the
quality of Goodness inherent in each individual."

"The only way to deal with the problem, therefore, is as was done
before: have a Renaissance, which means going back to the Classical idea, in
which we treat every individual as born good, by using methods of Classical
education: challenge people on their false beliefs, inspire them to recognize
within themselves the quality of cognition called agape by Plato and the
Apostle Paul, and thus make them happy, impelling them to realize they have
something within them which is beautiful , and evoking within them those emotional
qualities which are goodness, giving them the strength and motivation to
acquire real knowledge as opposed to mere learning."

"That’s how you make a revolution, and that’s what we need
right now."

Real Economics vs. Virtual Reality, Part 1-A

Lyndon LaRouche, in his keynote address to the Labor Day conference of the
Schiller Institute on Sept. 4, 1999, laid out the reasons that the
world’s financial system is presently in the final phase of
disintegration, a collapse set into motion in August 1971, when President Nixon
took the dollar off the gold-reserve standard. "That year," LaRouche
said, "was the point at which Hell began to break loose."

Proceeding from the conceptual standpoint provided by LaRouche, Executive
IntelligenceReviewmagazine’s economics staff
presented a panel on "Real Economics vs. Virtual Reality." In it,
they documented how the present crisis--whose very existence, to this day, many
people will not admit!--came about.

The LaRouche Connection presents this panel in two parts.

Part I consists of the presentation by Richard Freeman, who discusses
what makes for a real economic recovery. He focused his remarks on the
machine-tool principle.

Mr. Freeman then gave a short report on Malaysia, on the occasion of the
first anniversary of the national interest, protectionist controls on
speculative activity imposed by that government on Sept. 1, 1988, against the
wishes of the International Monetary Fund, and "free traders."

Part I ends with several exchanges during the Question & Answer period.

Part II begins with John Hoefle, reporting on how "great"
the financial world looks from the vantage point of "virtual
reality," demonstrating the insanity of viewing the spread of financial
cancer, as economic "growth."

Next Marcia Merry Baker, Economics Editor, using a series of photos

Real Economics vs. Virtual Reality, Part 1-B

Lyndon LaRouche, in his keynote address to the Labor Day conference of the
Schiller Institute on Sept. 4, 1999, laid out the reasons that the
world’s financial system is presently in the final phase of
disintegration, a collapse set into motion in August 1971, when President Nixon
took the dollar off the gold-reserve standard. "That year," LaRouche
said, "was the point at which Hell began to break loose."

Proceeding from the conceptual standpoint provided by LaRouche, Executive
IntelligenceReview magazine’s economics staff presented
a panel on "Real Economics vs. Virtual Reality." In it, they
documented how the present crisis--whose very existence, to this day, many
people will not admit!--came about.

The LaRouche Connection presents this panel in two parts.

Part I consists of the presentation by Richard Freeman, who discusses
what makes for a real economic recovery. He focused his remarks on the
machine-tool principle.

Mr. Freeman then gave a short report on Malaysia, on the occasion of the
first anniversary of the national interest, protectionist controls on
speculative activity imposed by that government on Sept. 1, 1988, against the
wishes of the International Monetary Fund, and "free traders."

Part I ends with several exchanges during the Question & Answer period.

Part II begins with John Hoefle, reporting on how "great"
the financial world looks from the vantage point of "virtual
reality," demonstrating the insanity of viewing the spread of financial
cancer, as economic "growth."

Next Marcia Merry Baker, Economics Editor, using a series of photos
and graphs, demonstrated the economic decline of the U.S.
economy, by looking at a U.S.
farm county and a factory town in the 1960s, compared to the situation today.

On Dec. 7, 1941, that which most Americans believed must not and could not
happen, happened: the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
A fundamental change swept through the country.

Today, we are again on the verge of such a mass emotional-psychological-political
experience, as the world’s financial system approaches total collapse.

Addressing a New York audience on Dec. 4, Democratic Presidential
pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche said that at such a moment, it is possible
to do the "impossible," to suddenly reawaken in people the power to
think, to suddenly think and talk about serious issues, and act on them in a
serious way. And, in so doing, win back this nation, and save it from
self-destruction.
